HARRISBURG—Rep. John Taylor (R-Philadelphia) will host a free Community Shredding event to give residents the opportunity to safely destroy personal paperwork.

The event, which will feature an on-site industrial paper shredder and electronic disposal service, will take place on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Lowe’s parking lot, 3800 Aramingo Ave. Residents can watch as their documents are destroyed. There is a limit of four boxes of papers per constituent.

“Identity thieves are committed to acquiring your credit card numbers, bank account information and Social Security numbers,” Taylor said. “It’s why you must destroy documents containing this sensitive information. I encourage everyone to come out to my event and take the proper steps in fighting identity theft.”
